What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectivesto evaluate the quality of life and body image in women with breast cancer during chemotherapy, before and after interventions targeting body image.
methodswe conducted a prospective cohort study with 47 women, utilizing both qualitative and quantitative data analysis.
resultsin the semi-structured interviews, 52.7% of the recommendations were deemed highly beneficial for the patients. After chemotherapy, 25.53% were dissatisfied with their body image, and 89.4% expressed concern about hair loss. Additionally, 97.9% of participants emphasized the importance of counseling tools in cancer treatment. We observed significant changes in body image scale scores and physical health (p<0.001), indicating an improvement in body image perception despite a decline in physical health when comparing pre- and post-chemotherapy results.
conclusionsthe scarcity of Brazilian publications on body image is noted, underscoring the role of healthcare professionals in interdisciplinary approaches to enhance clinical practices.
